It was wonderful with shops nearby.

You can improve your cutlery and crockery. I struggled to cook pap. Tupperware to put food in the fridge is needed. It doesn't have to be an expensive one. A couch will also do better than chairs.

Gemaklik.

Blyplek wat stilgestaan het in tyd. Kombuis en badkamer uit die 70's. Geen lugverkoeling met stormsterkwinde as jy die vensters oopmaak. Woonstel front wes en is baie warm. Het niks van die plek gehou op die eerste dag nie, maar dit groei op jou. Baie skoon en veilig. Badkamer het gestink na sigaretrook.

Place of residence that stood still in time. Kitchen and bathroom from the 70s. No air cooling with gale force winds if you open the windows. Apartment faces west and is very warm. Didn't like the place at all on the first day, but it grows on you. Very clean and safe. Bathroom stank of cigarette smoke.

Die verblyf was aangenaam, maar daar was ook tekorte.

Die gang het geruik na sigaret rook, moes dit twee keer aanmeld. Daar word nie tydens naweke skoonmakers gestuur om beddens op te maak of skottelgoed te was nie. Die gange is baie outyds en pas glad nie by kamer dekor. Doen definitief afbreek aan die plek. Daar is geen aanduiding van waar die trappe is en slegs twee van die drie hysbakke is in werkende kondisie. Daar is net sekere tye iemand by ontvangs so niks kan in die aand uit gevind of aangemeld word nie.

The stay was pleasant, but there were also shortcomings.

The hallway smelled like cigarette smoke, had to report it twice. No cleaners are sent on weekends to make beds or wash dishes. The corridors are very old fashioned and do not match the room decor at all. Definitely demolish the place. There is no indication of where the stairs are and only two of the three lifts are in working condition. There is only someone at reception at certain times so nothing can be found or reported in the evening.

Sal dit nie aanbeveel nie.

Ons was verbaas oor die toestand van die verblyf, dit wat op die foto’s wys is glad nie wat mens kry nie. Die kombuis was vuil en die kamer het 'n aaklige reuk gehad. Ons was ook glad nie gerus om ons waardevolle besittings in die kamer te los nie aangesien die sekuriteit maar swak is (net 'n houtdeur met 'n eenvoudige slot, geen kluis in die kamer nie). Ons het net een van die 3 aande wat ons gebook het daar gebly en toe besluit om liewer die volgende oggend ander verblyf te gaan soek. In die proses het ons geld ook verloor.

Would not recommend it.

We were surprised by the condition of the accommodation, what is shown in the photos is not at all what you get. The kitchen was dirty and the room had a horrible smell. We were also not at all comfortable leaving our valuables in the room as the security is poor (only a wooden door with a simple lock, no safe in the room). We only stayed there one of the 3 nights we booked and then decided to look for other accommodation the next morning. In the process we also lost money.

Thank you for your overall services. I enjoyed my stay in Gardens. I can advice management to notify future guests about how to access the parking for guests on the roof top with clear markings and maybe divide parking specifically for guests. All the bathrooms must have their own bath plugs as it was a problem for when I had to take a bath. Thank you.

Very clean, lots of problems in the building and rooms.

Nice rooms, very good cleaning service. Luxury apartment only on level 5, there are 20 levels. A lot of apartments are private owners. I had to move rooms because the private owner above was smoking weed. My second room the TV had bad signal and road was very noisy. You definitely need earplugs to sleep as you can hear the lift moving up and down, got stuck on 2 of the lifts and the 3rd lift is not working. they have no hairdryers in the room. Thee website says WIFI access but doesn't mentioned you have to pay for it. My colleague had to switch rooms cause her toilet was blocked. These are the "newly renovated luxury apartments".

As jy van trappe klim hou, bly hier.

Die woonstel self was mooi netjies en goed ingerig. Ons het 2 nagte op verskillende datums gebly en het 'n uitsig op die berg en die stad gehad, al twee was baie mooi. Die probleem het ingekom 1ste by die hysbak. Dit werk dan en wan. Gelukkig het ek met ons aankoms besluit om te bly toe my man ons bagasie gaan haal het. Want met sy terugkoms het die hysbakke nie gewerk nie en daar het nog iemand vasgesit ook. Hy moes 7 vloere klim! 1 van die 3 hysbakke werk permanent nie en ons het meeste vam die tyd die "freight" hysbak gebruik want dit was die betroubaarste van die 2 wat oor was. Die ander hysbak het jou probeer in die helfte sny met die inklimslag want die deur het net toegeslaan en dit was ook die een waarin mense meestal vasgesit het. Die parkeerkaartjie moet jy ook gaan "validate" by die sentrum se parkeringsagent. So jy moet loop en soek. As ek nie Afr of Eng kon praat nie sou ek lekker verdwaal het.

If you like climbing stairs, stay here.

The apartment itself was pretty neat and well furnished. We stayed 2 nights on different dates and had a view of the mountain and the city, both were very nice. The problem came in 1st at the elevator. It works then and sometimes. Luckily, upon our arrival, I decided to stay when my husband went to collect our luggage. Because when he came back, the elevators weren't working and someone was still stuck there too. He had to climb 7 floors! 1 of the 3 elevators does not work permanently and we used the "freight" elevator most of the time because it was the most reliable of the 2 that were left. The other elevator tried to cut you in half on the way in because the door just slammed shut and it was also the one most people got stuck in. You must also "validate" the parking ticket at the center's parking agent. So you have to walk and search. If I couldn't speak Afr or Eng I would have gotten lost.

Basiese verblyf in verouderde kamers.

Die verblyf is ideaal en sentraal geleë. Die kamers is redelik klein as mens met kinders reis en ekstra bed/matras moet insit. Die geriewe is baie verouderd, van die hysbakke tot die badkamers. Die kombuis is prakties onbruikbaar met 'n baie ou oond en een kragprop reg bokant die wasbakgeriewe. 'n Klein yskas is beskikbaar. Die ventilasie is swak, alhoewel mens die skuif-vensters kan oopmaak, maar met geen deurtrek, behalwe as mens die deur na die gang ook oopmaak.

Basic accommodation in outdated rooms.

The accommodation is ideal and centrally located. The rooms are quite small if you travel with children and have to put in an extra bed/mattress. The facilities are very outdated, from the elevators to the bathrooms. The kitchen is practically unusable with a very old oven and one power plug right above the sink facilities. A small fridge is available. The ventilation is poor, although one can open the sliding windows, but with no draft, except if one also opens the door to the corridor.

Definitief nie waarde vir geld nie.

Hulle het 'n probleem met die hysbak wat nie op alle vloere stop as dit afgaan nie. Het a.g.v. trappe klim 'n kniebesering opgedoen. Daar is ook 'n permanente suur reuk in die gebou a.g.v. ek dink vuil moppe. My kamer het baie sleg geruik. Mens het ook nie 'n gevoel van veiligheid in die aand omdat die sentrum die kant ingang toesluit en mens die hoofingang waar al die taxis wag moet gebruik.

They have a problem with the elevator that does not stop on all floors if it goes off. Injured my knee because of climbing the stairs. There's also a permanent sour smell in the building because of dirty mops I think. My room had a very bad smell. You also don't have a feeling of safety in the evening because the centre closes the side entrance and you have to use the main entrance where all of the taxis wait.

Absoluut puik.

Die mees sentraal geleë selfcatering verblyfplek in Kaapstad. Veilige onderdakparkering is beskikbaar met 'n Woolworths en P&P en nog vele meer winkels in die gebou. Kan nie beter kry vir die prys nie.

Die hysbak op die 14de verdieping het besonder lank geneem om te arriveer. Ek weet nie of daar fout was en of dit net 'n baie besige dag was nie.

Best stay.

We arrived before check in to check the place and were received a warm welcome. We had initially booked 3 rooms for 8 adults, 2 of those slept 3 but when we checked in we were allocated 4 rooms sleeping 2 each at no extra cost. The service is spectacular because 1 of our rooms facing Table mountain had a window that kept being opened by strong wind. We asked to be moved to another room & it was done without hesitation.This is the best establishment to stay in when in Cape Town. When I come again I'll stay there.

Die akkommodasie was baie sentraal en die uitsig vanaf die hotelkamer was die beste.

Die personeel was baie vriendelik gewees en die plek was netjies. Daar is genoeg winkels in die kompleks wat die verblyf nog meer gerieflik gemaak het. Ek reis baie Kaapstad toe maar dit was die eerste keer dat ek hier gebly het. Ek sal definitief weer daar gaan bly.

Dit was goed, goeie ligging en baie lekker beddens, behalwe vir 'n veiligheids- en gesondheidsrisiko.

Ons het vasgesit in die hysbak by aankoms vir ongeveer 'n uur en 'n half. Alhoewel daar vinnig gereageer was toe ons die paniek knoppie gedruk het, het ons ongeveer 'n halfuur gewag vir tegnikuste om uit te kom en daar was niemand van die personeel of enige dienste wat ons ontmoet het om seker te maak ons is almal veilig en reg nie. Dit was nie 'n lekker ondervinding nie en ons was benoud. My suster het amper flou geword toe ons uit gekom het maar ons was op ons eie. Die volgende dag toe ek dit by ontvangs noem het die dame net gelag en gesê dat dit maar gereeld gebeur en dat sy en ander personeel ook al vasgesit het en dat dit nie so erg is nie. Wel, ek stem ongelukkig nie saam nie aangesien dit vir ons traumaties was en 'n veiligheids- en gesondheidsrisiko is. Ek voel dat die dame nie reg opgetree het om dit as vanselfsprekend te aanvaar nie en niemand na ons welstand verneem het en daar was nie. Ons wou kanselleer en ander blyplek gaan soek, maar aangesien dit reeds laat was en ons almal baie moeg en dit spitstyd was, het ons besluit om tog aan te bly.

It was good, good location and very nice beds, except for a safety and health risk.

We were stuck in the elevator upon arrival for about an hour and a half. Although there was a quick response when we pressed the panic button, we waited about half an hour for technicians to come out and there was no one from the staff or any services to meet us to make sure we were all safe and well not. It was not a pleasant experience and we were distressed. My sister almost passed out when we got out but we were on our own. The next day when I mentioned it at reception the lady just laughed and said that it happens often and that she and other staff have also been stuck and that it is not that bad. Well, unfortunately I disagree as it was traumatic for us and is a safety and health risk. I feel that the lady did not act right to take it for granted and no one inquired about our well being and was there. We wanted to cancel and look for another place to stay, but since it was already late and we were all very tired and it was rush hour, we decided to stay.

Goed ligging. Naby MyCiti-bushaltes en die meeste geriewe. Woonstelle is oud maar gerieflik.

'n Waaier of lugversorger sou lekker wees dié tyd van die jaar. Miskien sal dit 'n goeie idee wees om koffie/ tee/ suiker en melk in woonstel te sit. Ek besef dit is selfsorg, maar as iemand vlieg bring mens net die nodigste saam en dit sluit definitief nie koffie/tee in nie. Die bed is baie gemaklik en woonstel is gerieflik.

Good location. Close to MyCiti bus stops and most amenities. Apartments are old but comfortable.

A fan or air conditioner would be nice at this time of year. Maybe it would be a good idea to put coffee/tea/sugar and milk in apartment. I realize that this is self-catering, but if someone flies, you only bring the essentials with you and this definitely does not include coffee/tea. The bed is very comfortable and the apartment is comfortable.

Nie baie veilig nie.

Veiligheidshekke is 'n noodsaaklikheid by elke woonstel. Ons het baie onveilig gevoel deur die nag. Die voordeur van die woonstel het slegs 1 baie swak skuifdeur gehad en slegs 1 sleutel wat baie los in die slot gepas het.

Not very safe.

Security gates are a necessity for every apartment. We felt very unsafe during the night. The front door of the apartment had only 1 very poor sliding door and only 1 key that fit very loosely in the lock.

Dankie maar nee dankie.

Al wat in Gardens Centre se guns tel is die uitsig op Tafelberg en die ligging daarvan. Daar is geen verkoeling van enige tipe nie en as mens met die vensters oop slaap, pla die lawaai van die straat jou. Alles is baie afgeleef en baie oud. Die kaste se hout is baie oud en gebuig. Ons het eerder besluit om ons klere in ons tasse te los. Die bad is baie oud en 'n tyd terug geverf en dop af. Die stoof sal baie goed doen by 'n antieke veiling. As mens by die deur instap, voel jy sommer klaar afgesit. Die mense by ontvangs is wel baie vriendelik en behulpsaam en die keuse van eetplekke in die sentrum is 'n plus. Daar is onderdakparkering wat met kameras dopgehou word.

Thanks but no thanks.

All that counts in Gardens Centre's favor is the view of Table Mountain and its location. There is no cooling of any type and if you sleep with the windows open, the noise from the street bothers you. Everything is very shabby and very old. The cabinets' wood is very old and bent. We decided to leave our clothes in our bags instead. The bathtub is very old and painted and shelled some time ago. The stove would do very well at an antique auction. When you walk in the door, you feel completely taken aback. The people at reception are very friendly and helpful and the choice of places to eat in the center is a plus. There is covered parking which is monitored by cameras.

Too expensive for nothing.

This place is expensive, with no WiFi, no breakfast, no shuttle. You just pay for a shelter. According to me there is nothing special about it. You get charged because your window views Table Mountain, this is robbery because you can view table mountain anywhere in Cape Town.

I would like to comment on the layout of their kitchennete. It was not of the best quality and could be better. It really wasn't to my satisfaction. Otherwise the bathroom, bed and view was fantastic. I will go again, but to a better apartment.

Since Gardens is self catering it would be nice if there were more restaurants.

The rooms need to be renovated and the furniture needs to be replaced. It looks too old, especially the kitchen. I would recommend air conditioners and more electrical plugs.

Dit is in vergelyking met die area, goedkoop akkommodasie, maar mens kan nie te veel verwag nie ...

Die kamerinrigting weerspieël glad nie wat op die foto's verskyn nie. Die kombuistoerusting is stokoud en geroes en die oond is 'n veiligheidsrisiko. Die een kragprop was geroes en het uitmekaargeval, maar dit was nadat ons dit aangemeld het baie spoedig vervang. Die bad en stort is oud en verniel. Om die huisbakke te benut was altyd 'n risiko, want jy't nooit geweet of die deure gaan oopgaan of nie.

It is, compared to the area, cheap accommodation, but one cannot expect too much...

The room furnishings do not at all reflect what appears in the photos. The kitchen equipment is stone cold and rusty and the oven is a safety risk. The one power plug was corroded and falling apart, but it was replaced very quickly after we reported it. The bath and shower are old and run down. Using the house bins was always a risk, because you never knew if the doors would open or not.
